The 648 solar panels became operational on November 28, 2025
Papergraphics has announced a £1 million programme of sustainability initiatives, focusing on solar panel installation and balers for recycling plastics and cardboard materials.
Set to reduce energy costs significantly, more than 48 panels were fitted in a month-long project, which will be used for the company’s day-to-day requirements and the its electric and hybrid vehicle fleets.
Papergraphics processes hundreds of media rolls daily, either converting them to specific roll sizes or delivering them to customers, which produces large amounts of plastic and other difficult-to-recycle waste that previously ended up in landfill.
The company has also invested in balers for plastic and cardboard, which are easy to use and have reduced waste by compacting many forms of plastic.
Michelle Dellow, product manager and sustainability lead at Papergraphics, said: “This is a long-term project the whole company is behind.
“We are so proud to have made some significant investments that will help us be a better and more environmentally-conscious organisation.
“There is a lot more still to do, but we are working hard to make sure every project delivers measurable improvements to our operational well-being.”
Final electrical installations are underway, with the official switch-on confirmed for November 28, 2025.
